Thank you for your brilliant analysis as always, Gabe. Young people like you give me hope. Public servants like me will resist Kash, Trump, and Project 2025 fascism.

Great piece. Thanks. Love the appendix in Patel's book. Glad someone is keeping score.

Thank you Gabe. Think talking about the potential incoming administration is relevant. We need to understand what we may be dealing with (in my opinion as I've stopped watching the news and rely on substack to help me accept this situation).

Thanks Gabe for your continuing great analyses I am very grateful for Chris encouraging people to subscribe to your Substack I think Scott Scmidt even gave you a shout out

I have two names to mention, John Bolton and Pat Cippolone The first shows Patel has no understanding of foreign policy and the latter that he has no understanding of the law and the Constitution

Just having an ‘Enemy’s List’ should automatically disqualify him! Trump is weighing his cabinet by picking the most Hateful, Lying, Sex criminals in the country. Good luck with that.

Patel's role in the 2020 hostage-rescue operation should be sufficient, all by itself, to disqualify him from any government appointment. He put the lives of Navy Seals, Air Force pilots, and an American hostage at risk, as well as setting the stage for a diplomatic incident between Nigeria and the United States.

Love the expression, "wackadoodle". We may be using it in the future.
